''Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>.''

-''Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell us about the history of the development and combat using the weaponry and also about its features. Compile a list of air, ground, or naval vehicles that feature this weapon system in the game.''
+The '''Canon de 75 Modèle 1897''' (often simply called ''the 75'', in french: ''Soixante-Quinze''), is widely regarded as the first modern artillery piece, largely due to its groundbreaking hydropneumatic recoil system, which allowed it to achieve an unparalleled rate of fire and accuracy. Originally designed as an anti-personnel weapon, it saw its first combat use in 1900 in China and faced its first challenges during the trench warfare of the Great War, when its flat trajectory made it struggle against entrenched infantry. However, newer shrapnel and gas shells gave it a second life. Its widely praised capabilities led to the gun being adopted by the French Navy, primarily in an anti-aircraft role, thanks to specialised naval mounts with enhanced elevation and rotation. The gun remained in use through World War II, serving in anti-aircraft and tank roles, with some guns still in use today as saluting guns.
